Another object of the present invention is to provide a device for allocating resource units using leftover tones in a wireless LAN.
In order to achieve the above-described technical object of the present invention, according to an aspect of the present invention, a method for allocating resource units using leftover tones in a wireless LAN may include the steps of generating, by an access point (AP), a PHY layer protocol data unit (PPDU) that is to be transmitted to a plurality of stations (STAs), and transmitting, by the AP, the PPDU to the plurality of STAs within an entire frequency bandwidth, wherein the PPDU may be transmitted from each of a plurality of resource unit groups being allocated to each of the plurality of STAs, wherein each of the plurality of resource unit groups may include a first resource unit group and a second resource unit group, wherein the first resource unit group may include at least one resource unit, wherein the second resource unit group may include one tone design resource unit, wherein the tone design resource unit may include at least one other resource unit and at least one additional tone unit, and wherein the at least one additional tone unit may include leftover tones remaining after allocating the at least one resource unit and the at least one other resource unit within the entire frequency band.
